Back in May (see post from 4th May) we sowed two fields (Teapot and Barn Fields) with oats. This was immediately followed by a long dry spell and for a while we despaired that we would get any crop. As we were thinking we would maybe have to grub it out the weather changed for the better and/or worse (depending on your point of view) and the oats grew and grew.

Yesterday the contractor came and with tractors and machines that dwarfed ours whizzed round the fields and within 2 hours the silage pit in the barn was full. James was buck raking and Henry was wielding the camera. I missed the action, so for you and I (and 2 little boys who were away in Shropshire) here's two of the videos and a couple of photos.
